Databases in Quantum Chemistry

"The workshop is devoted to address the issues related to databasing in Quantum Chemistry. A number of international experts has been invited to discuss the more relevant points in a flexible set up, with the objective of reaching a consensus view about the degree of necessity of organized repositories of high-level quantum chemical data, as well as the technical problems associated to their design, construction and maintenance"

The workshop started with talks dealing with the needs in quantum chemistry. Although the disussions seemed to indicate that these were many and diverse, there was a general agreement that calculations at the time of publication could benefit from a space to be shared openly.
